Flex Accelerates Smart Solutions for all OEM Modern Challenges

The combination of the Flex Platform Core, Flex Microservices, and Flex Catalyst Code lets OEMs accelerate application creation and differentiation across entire product lines, enabling multiple market focused innovations. Flex will do the “Heavy Lifting” so OEM teams can translate market knowledge and expertise into scalable and reliable product. Efficiently and Fast.

Asset Performance Management
Assess the real-time operational performance and health of your industrial assets to ensure optimal functionality, prolong lifespan, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance resource allocation efficiency
Asset Remote Monitoring
Integrate IoT technologies to monitor and control the whereabouts, status, and condition of your physical assets, boosting operational efficiency, asset utilization, security, and customer service quality.
Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps)
Simplify IT operations processes and automate critical tasks like workload scheduling, data backups, and anomaly detection using cutting-edge machine learning (ML) and big data technologies.
Field Ops Applications
Utilize IoT data gathered from field equipment to enhance scheduling, planning, and execution of field services. This facilitates maintenance, field service, customer service, and consultative service teams in delivering more precise, timely maintenance, part replacement, and support performance management.
Smart System Integrations
Significant business transformation occurs when all systems, applications, and devices are interconnected. Enhance real-time IoT device data by integrating contextual data from other systems, maximizing ROI through IoT solution integration with operational business systems or applications (whether on-premises or in the cloud). Additionally, automate actions and workflows based on IoT events.
Equipment as a Service (EaaS)
Custom IoT solutions turn business models like EaaS into reality. By seamlessly integrating middleware with pro-code capabilities, OEMs can go beyond traditional sales to deliver subscription-based services. This transformation enables real-time insights into equipment performance, optimized asset utilization, and predictive maintenance. Tailored IoT solutions not only give businesses greater visibility into their operations but also create new revenue streams through data-driven, usage-based models. By adopting EaaS, OEMs offer customers more flexibility and improve operational efficiency, unlocking new business opportunities.

Flex Solves the OEM “Need to Lead” in IIoT Digital Solutions

The Criticality of IIoT for OEMs

Every Second, 127 new devices connect to the Internet—and this will only accelerate. By 2025, IoT is can generate up to $11.1 trillion annually across manufacturing, cities, and retail (McKinsey & Company). Investing in IIoT-driven business transformation shifts businesses from reactive processes to AI/ML-powered predictive and preventive strategies. OEM customers know this and want the lower OpEx and increasing profit margins IIoT provides.
The Flex Platform immediately re-positions OEMs in their “Ability to Execute” and “Completeness of Vision”, with all the tools to move to a market leadership position.

The Flex Platform Difference: Accelerated & Iterative Value Creation

The 3-Layer Flex Approach lets OEMs apply their time and resources only on solutions versus the underlying Flex technology, already proven for flexibility, reliability, scale and security. OEMs can focus only on what matters to build strategic differentiation and own a versatile and custom IIoT Platform.

Flex  Aligns with OEM’s Engineering & Deployment Methodologies

Use industry standard and developer friendly CI/CD processes to easily evolve, enhance, and manage differentiation and Intellectual property. Flex enables a streamlined progression from Proof of Concept, to MVP, to your scaled enterprise-grade platforms and applications.

The Flex Platform combines the versatility of IoT-as-a-Service solutions but without the cost, risk, delays, and high specialized skills requirements, butalso gives OEMs streamlined and simplified acceleration creation without theflexibility limitations of Low-Code alternatives.  

Comparing OEM Alternatives: Why Flex is the the Clear Winner

Before Flex, the IIoT ecosystem provided OEMs with no options to meet their core business need to manage cost, risk, and time to market while maximizing security, scalability, reliability and total cost of ownership. Flex was purposefully designed for this OEM Product-Market Fit.
